Postcards is a collection of photographs and small texts I create while travelling, as well as images of objects and small details that draw my attention along the way. Like postcards once sent home, the images function as brief visual messages — observations from elsewhere.
The series is shaped by peripatetic photography: a quiet approach to street photography in which my focus is less on hunting exceptional moments and more on being present, attentive to my own state of mind. The work is experiential and direct, non-conceptual and intuitive — sometimes recreational — guided by movement, curiosity, and time.
Jeg vandret gjennom Psiri, en bydel i Athen som alltid har gått sine egne veier. En gang var dette tilholdsstedet for mangas – en subkultur som vokste frem i Athen og Pireus på slutten av 1800- og begynnelsen av 1900-tallet. De levde på kanten av det etablerte samfunnet og var kjent for å utfordre autoriteter og følge sine...
Yesterday I visited the impressive neoclassical-style conference and event venue - The Zappeion Megaron - next to the National Garden, which was originally built for the first modern Olympic Games.
I discovered this convex mirror on a wall in Athens while wandering through an industrial part of the city. What drew me in were its strong form and the reflections of the buildings behind me.
These two images were made during a walk through the old city of Athens on a December afternoon. One carries the Acropolis in the distance; the other follows a pedestrian street toward the edge of Thissio. Both hold the quiet light of winter and the feeling of moving slowly through the city.
I travel often by plane, for work and for leisure. This image was made on the way from Oslo to Frankfurt, early one morning before the sun rose above the horizon. Below, mist drifts quietly into the valley during the descent toward Frankfurt.
An evening walk along the Athens Riviera. Friends beside me, the shoreline unfolding slowly. The Athenian sea stretching out toward the Saronic Gulf, holding the last light of the day. An image shaped by time, meant to last beyond its moment.
The image was taken as I walk from the Neos Kosmos district into Koukaki in Athens, crossing the bridge alongside the straight, unbroken avenue of Andrea Siggrou, which links the city to the sea.
This postcard was taken during a visit to Fetsund Lenser, Norway, on the edge of Northern Europe's largest inland delta, where Lake Nordre Øyeren spreads out into a landscape rich in birdlife and wildlife. Here, water has always been a route of travel. At Bingen Lenser in Sørumsand, one of the most important hubs of log driving for countless...
I often wander through the parklands of the Norwegian University of Life Sciences – NMBU. A leisurely walk here reveals many small, hidden gems, and within the vast 800-hectare park there are always new motifs to discover, regardless of season or weather.
In the summer, I often come across groups on their way to weddings. I met these two at Oscarsborg in Drøbak, out in the Oslofjord. The photograph shows a frustrated bride, accompanied by a child who demanded at least as much attention as the bride herself during the photo session.
A very warm June afternoon has settled over us here in Gothenburg Botanical Garden.
The air is almost still between the trees, heavy with the scent of flowers and summer.
We sit in the grass, tired in the good way—
the kind of tiredness you only get after a full day of wandering through Gothenburg.
I was on a business trip in Kristiansand and walked past one of the buildings that was under restoration, wrapped in scaffolding with temporary decoration.
This postcard is a greeting from a late-summer evening on the beautiful holiday island of Zakynthos.
This is a greeting from the holiday paradise of Poros. The photograph was taken during a vacation stay, in a quiet moment before the day begins.
Sending a summer greeting from Spetses. The photograph shows the tender—the small boat that ferries people to and from the luxury yacht Sailing Yacht A.
I came across this motif at a bookstore on Poros. A simple, playful detail—and a surprisingly effective way to catch my attention.
On my journey into the lush rainforest of Sarawak, on the island of Borneo i Malaysia, I visited a family-run pepper farm deep in the landscape. The farm was located near a river, surrounded by dense, jungle-like vegetation.
This postcard greeting is from a trip I took in 2004 to Sani Top Chalet, known as the highest pub in Africa (2874 m)
During a visit to Switzerland, I visited The Tropical Greenhouse Project in Ruswil. This was a pilot project that demonstrated how tropical food production can be established in a temperate climate by using industrial waste resources.
This postcard greeting comes from Moscow, from a trip I took to the capital to attend a conference on timber architecture.
